and primes Victor have written to ex-
empress Eugene asking to be ex-

A sAoo SENSATION.
SACo, Maine, Aug. 3L-The biggest
sensation Saco ever experienced de-
veloped this morning. The Saco and
Biddeford saving institution has seri-
ously suffered through the clerk who
has absconded. His name is Frank
G. McNielly; he is 19 years old. He
has mysteriously disappeared, taking
$500 in cash and United States
bonds to the amount of S9l, 200.
Though he left town Monday after
noon the bank officers and family
kept the matter so quiet that the
news did not leak out till this morn
ing. President Goodale says the loss
is SO much less than the surplus that
the bank will be perfectly safe, even
il the amount taken by the abscond-
ing clerk was never recovered. The
bonds are registered and cannot pos
sibly be used.
THE GLASS INDUSTRY.
PITTsBURG, Aug. 31.-There is now
every probability that all the branch
es OF the glass industry will resume
work without any trouble, excepting
the window glass manufacturers

employees have still wide breach be-
tween them, and the strike which will
be inaugurated tomorrow will throw
several thousand men out OF employ
ment.
A TEMPEST IN PETERSBURG.
PETERSBURG, Va, Aug. 3l.-1he
city to-day is in feverish state OF ex-
citement over the clash between
races. Last week a negro was fined
fifty dollars and sent to jail for
striking a white woman. On Fri
day DIR. Hunton, a prominent ply
sician, struck a colored girl. He
was arrested and the case continued
until to-day. The negroes demanded
that the doctor should receive the
same punishment as was inflicted
upon the negro. A violent card
signed by prominent negroes was
published in the IElde.r and appeal
yesterday. The signers and editors
were arrested for libel. The excite
ment became SO intense that the
mayor ordered three companies of
militia to hold themselves in readi-
ness for any emergency. Great anxi-
ETY. is felt.
A FRENCH EXECUTION.
PARIS, Aug. 3L-Pranzini, the muir
derer OF Madame Regnault and her
maid and her maids child, was gull
lotined at five o'clock this morn
ing. Vast crowds waited about the |
place of execution during the whole |
night and kept up a constant howl |
ing and yelling. The din was hor-
rible. When the chaplain who was
to officiate at the execution arrived |
at 4 30 A. NJ, the mass OF people was
SO great that he was almost pre-
vented from reaching the gate OF the |
prison. Pranzini marched from the
cell to the scaffold with a firm step
and defiant air. When the execu-
tioners seized him he resisted and |
fought desperately, and demanded |
that they let him alone. The execu-
tioners overpowered him, threw him |
on the machine and in an instant had i
him securely bound. Immediately |
after, the terrible knife started. 1t |
descended slowly at first, but then |
quickened and the head of the muir
derer rolled into the basket. The
mob became very disorderly during
the progress of the execution.
